China supercomputer achieves global first with ‘brain-scale’ AI model
- Research team says latest Sunway machine is on a par with the US Frontier, named as the world’s most powerful just weeks earlier
- Its speed has made it possible to train an artificial intelligence program with 174 trillion parameters, rivalling the synapses in the human brain

Chinese scientists say a new supercomputer is so fast it has successfully run an artificial intelligence model as sophisticated as a human brain.
The achievement puts the Newest Generation Sunway supercomputer on a par with Frontier, the latest machine built by the US Department of Energy, which earlier this month was named the world’s most powerful.
The Chinese team used the Sunway machine to train the AI model – called bagualu which means “alchemist’s pot” – with 174 trillion parameters, rivalling the number of synapses in the brain for the first time.
